the constant inner struggle of a Na'vi speaker/teacher browsing Na'vi OCs

#(spongebob rainbow meme) autism #if i've ever reblogged your post to correct your na'vi grammar/OC name i promise promise promise i wasn't doing it to be rude #or as any sort of personal attack or criticism #the na'vi language is just a special interest of mine and i really love sharing information about it and helping people who are new to it!!#but also yes i acknowledge that at the end of the day it doesn't *really* matter if tumblruser29's na'vi oc has an “invalid” name #as long as they're happy with it #but boy howdy does the infodump side of me still want to fix it #...yeah this is why i very seldom reblog other people's OCs even if I really like the concept/design/art 😅#because i know i won't be able to resist fixing the names #and i'm aware that most people will probably find that more annoying than helpful #i'm more likely to bite the bullet and do it anyways with grammar mistakes #because with OC names a lot of the time there's a good chance the person isn't actually interested in learning the language #they simply want a cool name for their character #but if someone's trying to string together full phrases/sentences I assume they have at least some interest in actually learning #so I want to step in and help out #but...yeah #lì'fya leNa'vi #na'vi oc #my art #comic

It's funny how Sweeney Todd almost exclusively kills men and it's *not* a feminist thing, it's literally just that men are the ones who see barbers. Of course you could probably get some deeper analysis out of the fact that he mostly kills men, but it's not a feminist thing even though his wife and daughter were horrifically abused by a man and his friend/lover of convenience Mrs. Lovett's husband clearly wasn't great (at least in the movie? I haven't seen the play in a while.) Once I saw a fundraiser for a version of the story where he and Mrs. Lovett are specifically going after male abusers and that could be cool, I hope that got off the ground.

#specifically I think his fixation on vengeance towards Judge Turpin can be read as partially a reaction against him being 'emasculated'#for lack of a better term. he was in the proper provider and protector role and got thrust out of it and his protectees were stolen and hur #he clearly isn't planning on getting Johanna back and can barely string three personality traits of Lucy's together #and he's planning on dying basically right after he kills the Judge or at least doesn't care what happens to him after that #he's not trying to improve his life or anyone else's. at least a part of his motivations is the 'removal from his plate'#anyway him killing mostly men could be an extension of this?#he doesn't kill the guy with a family who also has that provider and protector role because that's what was done to him #but he's kinda killing other competitors who could remove him from his proper station in life #those who don't have families to rightfully fight for/stabilize them might lash out in bad ways like Turpin did?#I dunno I would think about this a lot more if I was gonna write a paper or a fic or something lmao #just spitballing about the symbolic significance of Sweeney mostly killing men beyond the obvious practical answer of why he does that #because that really should be important beyond the obvious of 'men are the ones who get shaved'#sweeney todd #sweeney todd the demon barber of fleet street #mrs. lovett

So many projects I want to work on, so much planning to do for fun trips, so much holiday fun imminent, and not enough time

#definitely was spooky #like. i have all of the things to do that i was putting off bc deadlines but now that i have time it's just been a lot of decision paralysi #is that the name for it? idk.#but like. wanna rewrite the dragon's tears for totkau wanna finish the last ones wanna finish my notes for the story wanna write the END #wanna make a post about my splatoon saf cast properly so i can start just making posts whenever i think about their rehearsals #wanna finish my midi arrangement.#< that's a big one and i'm really feeling that rn.#seeing smy doing such cool stuff learning to draw is making me want to keep learning that skill and finish that arrangement #gonna have to move it to different software probably for the better string samples #just kinda daunting. perhaps my first midi project in five years shouldn't have also been my first orchestral arrangement #especially when i did little to no music making in that time #i wasn't gonna talk abt it on tumblr but sack it if you read this far i'm telling you #it's tricky because it's an arrangement of melodies from saf in the style of a very specific piece of music from the end of totk #so trying to make those styles go together is probably a task better suited to someone with FAR more experience.#not to someone doing his first arrangement of someone else's music.#also need/want to plan a lot of stuff for cosplays which is also daunting bc i have done cosplay in public a grand total of two (2) times #only one of which was meant to be seen by other fans. so.#i wanna start making bracelets for icbiballtay too. need more s beads though lol #and i haven't even mentioned getting started on my next assignments gfkgshkgsk #anyway i should stop running my mouth online but also hi

Bless the subbers at viki 🙏🩵

#i was watching a show on netflix and it was fine at first but as time went on i kept being like #i just think theres something missing in these subtitles thats making the plot and character motivations a little confusing....#so i went to see if there was other versions and viki had one and Hurrah- makes much more sense 🙏#i dont think netflix was wrong with the subtitles tho i think its the thing where they did a 1:1 translation #but sometimes 1:1 doesnt always work so thats why it was a bit like ?#i think people get caught up in 100% word accuracy but its like..... yeah but when you string the words back together in another language #will it still make sense..... 🤔#people beef with localisation but sometimes its necessaryyyyy #other times its not. itd be a difficult balancing game to translate things #i respect it a lot. trying to keep it true to the original but not awkward or stunted would be hard work

Hello Spooky! Here's your daily visit from me, myself and I ! Just wanted to stop by and ask you if you've had any other Vocaloid artists you're a fan of? I've been thinking about it for quite a bit because I always found your taste in music rather fun and I'm always open to hearing what makes YOU most happiest (Or at least helps you cope, Realize your emotions, Really however music impacts you in whatever way it does!) I've been kind of visiting here a lot lately and I hope you don't feel this obligation to reply or send me things in response, I'm doing this all purely because I want to be here as much as I can! I never get sick of reaching out either, I just want you to express yourself and let yourself be free in a space full of people who will accept you.

If you do not have particular artists you like I'd at least like to know some favorite Vocaloid songs? Whatever floats your boat Ilysm!!! /p Take care as usual !!

ohh !!! yes . of course i have other vocaloid artistz i enjoy !!! ¥_^

of course . predictably . GHOST would've shown up sooner or later ; interesting thing about them iz that my favorite song by them . for yearz on end . haz been and still iz "Rotary Dial" . even after learning about the "Creative" remix – i suppoze it really doez just tap into that whole "isolation" and "unhealthy attachment" sentiment . and therefore i love it so much

i don't even know what GHOSTz songz are about uzually . but their lyricz really do tend to rezonate with me ; my top songz would probably be "Rotary Dial" . "Creative" . "Happy Days" and "Chelovek" [i can't actually decide between Chelovek . The Things I Deserve . Star of the Show . Housewife Radio n DEATHBODY so letz just say they all occupy the same spot Chevolek doez]

another one that ive loved for a long . long time iz definitely INABUKOMORI – their muzic really haz thiz unique feel of dread that comez from the way they uze yuki in a lot of their songz . not to mention the lyricz too

my favorite songz from them tend to flip flop around a lot [since i tend to overplay a lot of their muzic when i feel bad] but currently they are "Pascal Beats" . "Lost Umbrella" . "Lag Train" and "Rain Boots" [cliché choicez but i digress]

i know they don't actually do vocaloid muzic anymore but CreepP too iz another i really love – both for the vocaloid muzic and their current stuff – and i guess it wouldn't be too hard to guess why [ominous dhmis inspired vocaloid songz looming in the background]

my top picz from them are probably "Creative" . "Eat" . "Don't Touch Me" and "Exorcism"

somewhere in september / october i also discovered irohaRingo . who ive become a huge fan of once finding out about them !!! their songz also have a really odd . computer-y sound and the vocaloid tuning iz also very great – shrill screamz and glitchez really make them stand out among the rest . in my eyez

favorite songz from them ought to be "Why I hate you" . "Witness" and "Love me knife"

and the most recent addition to the roster iz friendxp !!! i haven't listen to all of their muzic by any meanz . but the trackz i have listened to are phenomenal – another artist who playz around a lot with soundz that make their muzic stand out . and the way they tune their vocaloidz iz also just very fun !!! the lyricz really just . speak to me also – i relate to them a lot . which iz good becauze i don't have a lot of super energetic muzic to listen to while im angry or something

my favez are totally "study" and "love/hate stalemate" – ive been replaying theze two constantly over the past few weekz !!!

okayokay !!! tysm for the ask !!! itz genuinely so nice to have the ability to ramble on about something so silly n dumb az thiz !!!

#muzic iz something im so deeply passionate about . especially when itz made by artistz who have such unique stylez and manage to stand out #thiz medium can become so saturated in the mainstream . so having theze outlierz iz actually so great #no muzician that makez songz that makez muzic that they play on the radio could ever make something that could impact me like Carrot Vomit R #i jest !! – but im sure you get the idea #tysm for the ask . again !!! having you come by iz such a pleazure !!!#and sorry for alwayz responding so late – im typically asleep when you send the askz !!!#although god what wouldn't i give to never fall asleep ever again.#joking !! joking !! ahaha !!#asks #answered asks #my ask box #my inbox #spooky's postbox #i relate to Rotary Dial and Happy Days a lot .. sniffle ...#again . pleaze don't flame me for not knowing the lore of GHOSTz songz pleaze !!!#im not in the mood to try and string together the story of Connections #thatz something way beyond my skill level of surface level analysis of songz #(⁠~⁠_⁠~⁠;⁠)

plaga doll update:

this is taking way longer than i expected, but it is time to start doing details :3c

planning out articulation points... experimenting with movable claws :3c

#im debating if i want a string/wood internal armature or not #but the string will allow for a load of mobility #and i want to make sure everything is sealed properly too #making hollow parts but just in case of moisture or anything wanna make sure he's sealed #it's been a nightmare trying to get paper inside of tiny holes to make sure i have a good seal #will do a glue bath and primer bath later on #then get all person with the final matte seal coat #the paper will allow for a more smoother seal is my thinking #it's cardboard underneath a lot of parts and i wanna make sure everything's flushed together well

I was going to be more coherent about this, but I have a lot of thoughts! and feelings! that I need to get off my chest about how I think it’s so so good that Cang Lan Jue is about subverting destiny. How love is capable of doing so.

Like, we’re told from the beginning that Changheng and Xiao Lan Hua are a fated pair. We’re told that it’s inevitable. And then Dongfang Qingcang, who’s never met a rule or law he gives two shits about, including destiny or whatever, comes stomping in, he falls in love with Xiao Lan Hua, and the rest is history.

That’s why my favorite lines in the whole show are the words Qingcang says to Xiao Lan Hua before he dies:

本座说过我要替你逆天改命······我做到了。

I said I would defy the laws of the universe and change the course of destiny for you…I’ve done it.

(The first “I” is “this venerable one” and the second and third just plain old “I”! Love the contrast.)

Because that’s what the story is about! “Everything is fate, except love,” as Master Arbiter said.

(Also 逆天改命 is just a cool phrase)

#okay I feel a lot better now #circ talks #clj: defy heaven and alter fate #i'm gonna do it i'm gonna maintag #love between fairy and devil #I also have thoughts about how people are punished severely for trying to go against fate #both by in world mechanism and as demonstrated by xlh the first time she tried to step away from her destiny #second time was the charm for her #it took them working together to break the red string of fate #🥲#wait you know what #dfqc paid heavily for going against fate too #i mean he died #😭#clj meta

does anyone have any writing advice about what to do/how to proceed when you keep re-outlining a plot because "wait that might be better"

#a few times is fine but ive been stuck in this stage for over a year now #i can think of ideas! but i just constantly worry that im not picking the best ideas to make it as good as it can possibly be #is the problem that i don't know WHAT i want and therefore keep constantly coming up with disjointed shit?#is it that im worrying too much about making it good?#this will be a fantasy comedy and i have had a LOT of luck when i focus solely on the things that make ME laugh #but i get stuck when trying to think about like...how to connect those scenes i like together #do i genuinely just need to brainstorm until i have a connecting idea that excites me like the rest?#i know there are no rules when it comes to writing and i could in theory do whatever i want #but it would help to hear what other people do/think #i want to like this story myself more than anything so maybe i do just need to come up with a bunch of shit that makes me laugh #until i have enough ideas that they naturally string together #shaking myself by the shoulder YOU WANT IT TO BE FUN. STOP MAKING IT DARK YOU CAN DO THAT LATER #this is supposed to be FUNNY and ABSURDIST and IRONIC and SILLY #grrrr. anyway i love writing advice genuinely. it always makes me excited to write so ill take anything (even if its unrelated to my issue)#wip #tbtqop

tbh i might go ahead and put dungeons in as a part of the bellum x linebeck fic's plot since like. 1) struggling to actually figure out a main plot and having dungeons as sort of bit points to hit and be little bits of fitting exploration and bonding and 2) i do kinda want to do dungeons. i like thinking of them and again i do think its fitting.

#bellum x linebeck fic #albw fucks thats where i got the idea. i mean dungeons are a general loz thing but albw is rlly good with a bunch of dungeons #the deal now is like. why are they doing dungeons (beyond. linebeck likes treasure and adventure and bellum likes doing stuff with him)#it doesnt really need to be an endgame thing if that makes sense. a mid to late story plot as smth extra for them to do to interact with #the world and ig the issue is that i cant figure out what they'll get out of these dungeons. considering theyre a bit morally fucked. so #i'll have to think on that. will prolly do only a few bc. yknow. or could do some other kinda of like. major points to hit. but tbh dungeon #do fit in since ppl go exploring a lot and ive been playing with the idea of a fantastical system that like. refills dungeons if theyre #influenced by certain magic or w/e. i like the great sea having a lot of magic kinda just. existing around the world unchecked #it def gives a lot of opportunity for worldbuilding and like. things to do and have exist in the great sea setting. anyways #need smth for bellum and linebeck to do other than play a weird dating sim with each other as their endgame picks #honestly the actual plot side of things is the messiest fucking thing abt this and im trying to keep it from getting out of hand #i have the actual romance set up well enough and i really ought to focus on the romance in chapter planning before trying to #string together a main plot between all of it yknow #salty talks #thinking more on it it might not even need to smth where theyre fully successful bc its like. idk. maybe they just want to do some stuff #cuz there is no world threatening thing (thats bellum's role.) so like no sages or pendants but maybe some fucking mcguffin #part of me thinks. oh. triforce! but thats uh. a lot. i might just leave the dungeon stuff as like. bellum wants him to clear them out as #as like possibly places for bellum to hide out in since he's afraid of being threatened and killed. like hes looking a smth like a base #i like that ig. cuz it could end up with them being like. hey i like being around this person that i think i have feelings for #oh. this might be good to use in development of romance too

i love how knitting patterns have super detailed and exact instructions on what to use etc etc and every time i look at one im like. what if i....didn't exactly do that? and just kinda fucked with your instructions a bit hm?

#personal tag #i know thats the joy of creating etc #everything is guidelines. there's no rules. i can do whatever i want #i just also need to be okay with things not turning out how i'd want them then lmao #anyway i have set my eyes on THREE new projects #two cardigans; one for me n one for my sister #and then i might also try my hand. at SOCKS #sister is paying me for my time i will put into making her cardigan by getting me yarn for me #and i got this super soft one that i see people use a lot for crocheting plushies #but i dont understand crochet. maybe i can give it a try with this yarn again since its not like. a bunch of strands together #its like one string so that might make crocheting easier to understand #ANYWAY. cardigans and socks. moving up into the world #im also repairing my relationship to this first cardigan i made #she's not perfect but nobody is. i still hate the huge sleeve on one side but i refuse to take it apart to make a smaller one like the othe #so i just gotta live with it #she's warm and big and i poured a lot of hours into it and she does look cute!#anyway knitting. i like it. have begun a little knitting journal to keep track of my comments on patterns #organized every free pattern ive downloaded on a whim too #👍
